Houston at Portland

[RC27]

Houston announcer just compared lillard to rondo... WTF!?!?

[RC27]

Cold...Blooded...3...

[RC27]

What a game!

[RC27]

I am sooooo stoked! Lillard! Holy skzldjhfks;adjfh

Amazing win, another OT thriller against Rockets.

[RC27]

Best game of the year so far

[shen]

Batum 35 points 6 rebounds 5 blocks 4 assists 1 steel, on 13/19 shooting that is just DAMN!!!!!!!!!


That right there is why EVERY GM in the league believed Batum was worth trading the farm and giving a max.

Line of the Night: Nicolas Batum 35 pts, 6 rebs, 5 blks, 4 asts, 13-19 FG, 5-8 3FG, 4-5 FT, W

That's what I'm talking about! ****ing amazing, really shutting up his critics so far this year.

[RC27]

If he keeps this up, i will say i was wrong when i said we shouldve accepted the twolves 2 1sts and dwill. the guy can avg 20, 6, 2blks in this league.

Seriously. lillard age 22, averaging almost 20. batum age 23, averaging like 21 now. and aldridge age 27, avg 22? We have a big three barring anything horrific. (knock on wood).

and leonard looked good tonight. hitting a face up jumper and making his FT's.

this makes me so excited for next year when we buy a supporting cast with bench scoring AND a lotto pick.

Batum has a super nice clip started

Nicolas Batum
averaging 39.7 minutes
shooting .482 from the field
.394 from the arc
from the stripe .763
20.8 PPG
6.30 boards
4.70 defensive boards is big
3.2 dimes this will go up if we continue to let him create up top with ball
2.33 steals (basically swiping everything he touches)
1.33 rejections he is the best SF since Pippen on run downs

only 23 and just starting to touch the surface of his potential... I dig his quote after the game "I'm feeling like I can do anything I want I on the court now... that is a dangerous!!

9 games in and how many of you would still would trade Nico to the Wolves for D Williams and change now??

Well it was dwilll and 2 firsts... But if he keeps this up, I was completely wrong!

[Red Hot Rolllin]

I would say if you were playing poker and had 3 chips left
Batum - Lillard - LMA

and you had to spend one today for a power play for the future its LMA I push in the mix... now that if I felt it would upgrade our team big time... unless I keep all three chips

the order is changing is all I'm saying you have to have vision though to see cuz it hasn't happened but it will haha

I think that offer was never on the table but who cares I would of rejected it anyways

But I've been saying since this summer, we should look at options for LA. Definitely something to explore.

I was looking at the top PG's in the league, AND I have lillard at #10. Being a top 10 pg at 22 years old.... So exciting

[RC27]

I also have Batum at 7th best Sf. At age 23..
